If the Brooklyn Democratic ring has really
concluded not to attempt to thwart justice in
the case of Chief Engineer Nevins it will be q
good thing, regardless Of the motive. No
doubt there are others equally guilty, but IL
will be some satisfaction to know that the
District Attorney will fairly prosecute even
one Of the gang.
1t is probable that the anxiety of the Tory
Government to get the Coercion bin safely
Through the House Of Commons is the sole
foundation for tho report of the alleged dis
c0very of dynamite plots against the queen
The report Is highly improbable. 1t is a fit
supplement- TO the forgery Of the alleged
Parnell letters.
The statement that German laborer from
the neighborhood of Railway who went to
Illinois soon after the Railway murder, has
confessed the crime, is interesting and i'm
portant. if true But like many other stories
Connected with this case,it lacks confirmation
and there Is evidently something wrong ab out

any money In erecting new office building
A new structure to accommodate various munic
ipal departments now scattered over the city
will probably be erected at no distant date.
There seems to be no good reason why pro-
vision should not be made in such building
for the Board Of Education.
II the new Excise Commissioners arc to be
believed their predecessors in Office were not
so bad as ex Mayor Grace painted them. The
new Board has been allowed an increase of over
100 per cent In the appropriation for salaries
on the ground that such increase was necessary
to the work Of reform II this is true, then
the old Board, through the course Of Mayor
Grace in refusing it only one-half enough
money, was badly hampercd in it's work. But
Mayor Grace was entirely right This work
OF increasing salaries Is the usual Democratic
"pefom" method. 1t is seen In the Custom
House, whero in ono year the pay rolls were
Increased So, $50 month. In the depart
nonts at Washington the same thing has been
